Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Tattnall County Board of Education
INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S COMBINED REPORT ON GENERAL PURPOSE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION SCHEDULE OF EXPENDITURES OF FEDERAL AWARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the accompanying general purpose financial statements of the Tattnall County Board of Education, as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, as.listed in the table of contents. These general purpose financial statements are the responsibility of the Tattnall County Board of Education's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these general purpose financial statements based on our audit.
Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General ofthe United States. Those standards require that we. plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statemerits are free ofmaterial misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
We did not observe the taking of either the Federal donated commodities inventory or purchased foods inventory at June 30, 2000, nor could we satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the amounts stated as inventories through alternative procedures.

As described in the notes to the general purpose financial statements, the Board's financial statements have been prepared using certain accounting practices and policies which, in our opinion, vary in some respects from generally accepted accounting principles. These variances are described as follows:
* The general purpose financial statements of the Board did not contain a General Fixed
Assets Account Group to account for property and equipment owned by the Board which should be included to conform to generally accepted accounting principles.
* School activity accounts maintained at the individual schools are not included in the
general purpose financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, these accounts should be included in the general purpose financial statements.
* The Board did not recognize as expenditures, in the year ended June 30, 2000, a portion
of salaries and the corresponding employer's cost of related benefits earned for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 2000. Also funds received, subsequent to June 30, 2000, from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these unrecorded salaries and related benefits were not recorded as revenue in the year under review. Conversely, the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were improperly recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000. To conform to generally accepted accounting principles, revenues should be recorded when available and measurable and expenditures should be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.
The aggregate effects on the general purpose financial statements of these variances or omissions have not been determined, but are believed to be material.
In our opinion, except for the effects of such adjustments, if any, on the Special Revenue Fund, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the food service inventories as discussed in the third paragraph, and except for the effects on the general purpose financial statements ofthe matters referred to in the preceding paragraph, the general purpose financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Tattnall County Board of Education as of June 30, 2000, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
In accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated March 21, 2001, on our consideration of the Tattnall County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting anci our tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grants. That report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards and should be read in conjunction with this report in considering the results of our audit.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the general purpose financial statements of the Tattnall County Board of Education taken as a whole. The accompanying combining statements (Exhibits E through L) and the financial schedules (Schedules 1 through 5), which includes the Schedule of.Expenditures of Federal Awards as required by U. S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations, are presented for purposes of additional analysis and are not a required part of the general purpose financial statements. Such informaiion has been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit ofthe general purpose financial statements and in our opinion, except for the effect of adjustments, ifany, on the Special Revenue Fund, as might have been determined to be necessary had we been able to satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the food service inventories as discussed in the third paragraph, and except for the effects of the matters referred to in the fourth paragraph, such information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the general purpose financial statements taken as a whole.
A copy ofthis report has been filed as a permanent record in the office ofthe State Auditor and made available to the press ofthe State, as provided for by Official Code ofGeorgia Annotated Section 506-24.

The Board uses funds and an account group to report on its financial position and the results of its

operations. Fund accounting .is designed to demonstrate .legal compliance and to aid financial

management by segregating transactions related to certain governmental functions or activities. A

fund is a separate accounting entity with a self-balancing set of accounts. An account group is a

financial reporting device designed to provide accountability for certain assets and liabilities that are

General Fixed Assets Account Group is not presently maintained by the Board. To conform to
a generally accepted accounting principles, General Fixed Assets Account Group should be
.maintained for reporting the cost of assets acquired by governmental fund types. '

Although "school activity accounts" are main!ained at the individual schools, neither the_ assets, liabilities atld'funcl equity, nor the revenues, expenaitures and changes in fund balancesof these accounts are reflected in these financial statements. To conform to generally accepted accounting , principles, these accounts should be recorded in the general purpose financial state,meqts...

Note I: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
SPECIAL REVENUE FUND - the fund used to account for the proceeds of specific revenue sources (other than for major capital projects) that are legally restricted to expenditures for specified purposes. These funds are received primarily from the Georgia Department of Education and from the Federal government to accomplish specific educational objectives.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the acquisition or construction of major capital facilities.
DEBT SERVICE FUND - the fund used to account for the accumulation ofresources for, and the payment of, general long-term principal, interest and paying agent fees.
FIDUCIARY FUND TYPES - the funds used to account for assets held by a government unit in a trustee capacity or as an agent for individuals, private organizations, other government units and/or other funds. These funds include:
EXPENDABLE TRUST FUNDS 4-H Club Trust Fund - the fund used to account for proceeds from the sale of4-H property and used to provide for the assistance of Tattnall County children enrolled at the College of Agriculture of the University of Georgia.
Deferred Compensation Plan - the fund used to account for financial resources to be used for the employees of the Board.
ACCOUNT GROUP
GENERAL LONG-TERM DEBT ACCOUNT GROUP-A financial reporting device used to account for general obligation debt outstanding, promissory notes and capital lease obligations.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING
The accounting and financial reporting treatment applied to a fund is determined by its measurement focus. All governmental and expendable trust funds are accounted for using a current financial resources measurement focus. With this measurement focus. only current assets and current liabilities generally are included on the balance sheet. Operating statements ofthese funds present increases (i.e., revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (i.e., expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. Their reported fund balance is considered a measure of available spendable resources.
Liabilities which are expected to be financed from available spendable resources are reported as liabilities in the governmental funds. Other liabilities, which are not expected to be financed from available spendable resources, are reported in the General Long-Term Debt Account Group.

Governmental and expendable trust funds are accounted for using the modified accruai basis of

accounting under which: '. ' .......

,.



Revenues are recognized when susceptible to accrual (i.e., when they become both measurable and

available). "Measurable" means the amount of the transaction can be determined and "available"

means collectible witliin the current period or soon enough thereafter to be used to pay liabilities of
are the current period. Those revenues considered susceptible to accrual property taxes, local option

sales taxes, intergovernmental grants and investment income.

Expenditures are generally recognized when the related fund liability is incurred.

A departure from the above definitions is the accounting treatment afforded the final twci payments on General Fund teachers' and bus drivers' contracts, and the-resources available from the Georgia Department of Education for the State's share of these contracts. During fiscal year 2000, a substantial number of personnel of the Board were employed for a one hundred and ninety day period beginning in late August 1999 and ending in early'Jime 2000. Personnel contracts for this employment period specify that compensation be paid in twelve equal monthly payments beginning in September 1999 and ending in August 2000. State grants to fund the State's share-of these contracts were disbursed from the Georgia Department ofEducation to the Board in the same twelve months. As ofJune 30, 2000, compensation under these employment contracts had been earned, but two of the twelve morithly payments, due for July and August 2000, had not been made. Payments for these two months were made and recorded as expenditures by the Board subsequent to June 30, 2000. Also, the State's portion of the compensation paid in July and August 2000 was received and recorded as revenue in the fiscal year subsequent to June 30, 2000. Conversely; the similar expenditures and related revenues for contractual services completed prior to June 30, 1999, were recorded in the year ended June 30, 2000: Generally acc'epted accounting principles require that revenues,.be recorded when available and measurable'and that expenditures be recorded when incurred, rather than when funds are received or disbursed.

BUDGET
a The Tattnall County Board of Education's budget is complete financial plan for the Board's fiscal
year and is based upon estimates of expenditures together with probable funding sources. There is no statutory prohibition regarding overexperiditure of the budget at any level. The budget for all governmental funds is prepared by fund; function and object. The legal level ofbudget control was established by the Board at the aggregate level. The budget for governmental funds was prepared on a basis other than generally accepted accounting principles.

The budget process begins when the Board's administration prepares a tentative budget for the Board's approval. After approval ofthis tentative budget by the Board, such budget is advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the locality. At the next regular meeting of the Board after advertisement, the Board receives comments on the tentative budget, makes revisions as

COMPOSITION OF DEPOSITS Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits in authorized financial institutions.

The Board has obtained commercial insurance for risk ofloss associated with torts, assets, errors or omissions and job related illness or injuries to employees. The Board has neither significantly reduced coverage for these risks nor incurred losses (settlements) which exceeded the Board's insurance coverage in any of the past three years.

The Board has elected to self-insure for all losses related to natural disaster. The Board has not experienced any losses related to this risk in the past three years.

The Board is self-insured with regard to unemployment compensation claims. The Board accounts for claims within the General Fund with expenditure and liability being reported when it is probable that a loss has occurred, and the amount of that loss can be reasonably estimated.

Changes in the unemployment compensation claims liability during the last two fiscal years are as follows:

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board ofEducation
and Superintendent and Members of the Tattnall County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING BASED ON AN AUDIT OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOVERNMENT AUDITING STANDARDS
Ladies and Gentlemen:
We have audited the financial statements of Tattnall County Board of Education as of and for the year ended June 30, 2000, and have issued our report thereon dated March 21, 2001. This report was qualified for a scope limitation and for various departures from generally accepted accounting principles, as identified in the auditor's report on the general purpose financial statements. Except as discussed in the following paragraph, we conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing
Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States.
We did not observe the taking ofeither the Federal donated commodities inventory or the purchased foods inventory at June 30, 2000, nor could we satisfy ourselves as to the accuracy of the amounts stated as inventories through alternative procedures.
Compliance
As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether Tattnall County Board of Education's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed te_sts of its compliance with certain provisions oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination offinancial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective ofour audit, and accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results ofour tests disclosed no instances ofnoncompliance that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
In planning and performing our audit, we considered Tattnall County Board of Education's internal control over financial reporting in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements and not to provide assurance on the internal control over financial reporting. However, we noted a certain matter involving the internal control over financial reporting and its operation that we consider to be a reportable condition. Reportable conditions involve matters coming to our attention relating to significant deficiencies in the design or operation ofthe internal control over financial reporting that, in our judgment, could adversely affect Tattnall County Board ofEducation's ability to record, process, summarize and report financial data consistent.with assertions of management in the financial statements. The reportable condition is described in the accompanying Schedule ofFindings and Questioned Costs as item FS-7321-00-01.
A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation of one or more of the internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level the risk that misstatements in amounts that would be material in relation to the financial statements being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. Our consideration of the internal controi over financial reporting would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be reportable conditions, and accordingly, would not necessarily disclose all reportable conditions that are also considered to be material weaknesses. However, the reportable condition described above is considered to be a material weakness.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of management, members of the Tattnall County Board of Education, Federal awarding agencies and pass-through entities and is not intended to be and should not be used by anyone other than these specified parties.

Honorable Roy E. Barnes, Governor Members of the General Assembly Members of the State Board of Education
and Superintendent and Members of the Tattnall County Board of Education
REPORT ON COMPLIANCE WITH REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO EACH MAJOR PROGRAM AND ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER COMPLIANCE IN ACCORDANCE WITH 0MB CIRCULAR A-133
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Compliance
We have audited the compliance ofTattnall County Board ofEducation with the types ofcompliance requirements described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (0MB) Circular A-133 Compliance Supplement that are applicable to each ofits major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000. Tattnall County Board of Education's major Federal programs are identified in the accompanying Schedule of Findings and Questioned Costs. Compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to each of its major Federal programs is the responsibility ofTattnall County Board ofEducation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on Tattnall County Board of Education's compliance based on our audit.
We conducted our audit ofcompliance in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and 0MB Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non-Profit Organizations. Those standards and 0MB Circular A-133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types ofcompliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Tattnall County Board ofEducation's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our audit does not provide a legal determination on Tattnall County Board of Education's compliance with those requirements.

In our opinion, the Tattnail County Board of Education complied, in all material respects, with the requirements referred to above that are applicable fo each of its major Federal programs for the year ended June 30, 2000.
Internal Control Over Compliance
The management of Tattnall County Board of Education is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over compliance with requirements of laws, regulations, contracts and grants applicable to Federal programs. In planning and performing our audit, we considered Tattnall County Board ofEducation's internal control over compliance with requirements that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program in order to determine our auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with 0MB Circular A-133.
Our consideration ofthe internal control over compliance would not necessarily disclose all matters in the internal control that might be material weaknesses. A material weakness is a condition in which the design or operation ofone or more ofthe internal control components does not reduce to a relatively low level of risk that noncompliance with applicable requirements oflaws, regulations, contracts and grants that would be material in relation to a major Federal program being audited may occur and not be detected within a timely period by employees in the normal course of performing their assigned functions. We noted no matters involving the internal control over compliance and its operation that we consider to be material weaknesses.
